Item No. 9b_supp
Meeting Date: September 22, 2020
Main Terminal Infrastructure Upgrades

History
Main Terminal built in
1970s
North Extension added in
1980s
South extension added in
2000
All code requirements
met at time of
renovations

Background
Code did not require sprinklers
Projects have upgraded spaces as
work is completed
Inefficient, and doesn't address the
full issue
No longer viable option going
forward
Entirety of the building must have fire
sprinklers
Limited ability for future
construction until this project is
started

Project Purpose
Upgrade the Main Terminal to meet current fire & building
code
Improve passenger safety by upgrading several life safety
systems
New, reliable means of providing emergency power for a
majority of the airport
Remove a large amount of asbestos fireproofing and other
asbestos containing materials

4

Fire Sprinklers - Scope
Install new fire sprinklers
throughout the Main Terminal
(Ticketing, Esplanade,
Mezzanine, and Baggage Claim)
and above both the departure
and arrivals drives
Add additional fire standpipes
to meet current code

5

Ceiling and Lighting - Scope
Replace existing ceiling that
is no longer manufactured
while installing new systems
Replace existing lighting
with new energy efficient
LEDs
New emergency exit signage
and new signage that is
hung from the ceiling
6

Asbestos Removal - Scope
Significant amounts of asbestos
fireproofing remain in the Main
Terminal
Reduces overall removal cost by
doing it all at once instead of spot
abatement
Removal reduces cost and time
required to conduct maintenance
of systems
7

Smoke Control & Emergency Power - Scope
Install new smoke control exhaust
Replace the existing emergency power
generating system
Outdated
Unable to meet the new load of the smoke
control system
System supports Concourse B, C, and D; Main
Terminal; C1; and SSAT
New fire doors on the terminal side of
skybridges

8

Project Impacts to Operations
Critical to manage impact to
passenger movement in the
Main Terminal
Multiple phases of construction
Scaffolding required to perform
work
Limited laydown areas,
especially with social distancing
needs

9

Risks
Total emergency power need
unknown
Unknown location for
generators
Unknown exhaust routes
and requirements for smoke
control

Budget
Initial Budget: $350,000,000
Current Range: $300,000,000 -
$400,000,000
The number of phases required,
complexity of work, and need to
minimize passenger impacts increases
cost.
Overall duration of the project.


11

Preliminary Design Objectives
Design smoke control system for the Main Terminal and
Concourses B, C, and D to determine emergency power load
requirements
Evaluate means and methods of replacing the emergency
power generating system
Evaluate ways to minimize passenger impacts
Provide estimate for project budget

12

Next Steps
October 2020 - Request Commission Authorization for
Preliminary Design
December 2021  Complete Preliminary Design
Q1 2022  Update Commission on findings of preliminary
design and request full design funding
